Little Cookie-House Recipe

2010-12-09T16:08:00.001-05:00

This is an easy, quick and fun recipe. Make as many houses as you like. Use your imagination for the decoration. They are also nice as little giveaways. Your friends will love it. This is a great family project.

--- What you need to build five small cookie houses:

- 15 larger square graham cracker or butter cookies or ginger bread.

- Approx. 600g powdered sugar and 5 tablespoons of water or limejuice. You can use ready made icing instead, if you choose. This is the so-called “cookie glue.”

- Colorful sprinkles, marshmallows, smarties or similar.

--- Steps:

1) Put 5 cookies, which you will use as the bottom on one baking sheet and the other 10 cookies, which you will use as the roof, on the other.

2) Mix the powdered sugar with water or lime juice, make sure it is not too liquid, because you will use this mixture as “cookie-glue.” If it is too liquid, add more powdered sugar.

3) Cover the top of all 10 cookies with powdered sugar mix one by one, and decorate, as you like with sprinkles, marshmallows or smarties.

4) Then cover the bottom cookies thick with the powdered sugar mixture, one by one.

5) From the 10 roof cookies, take two cookies for the roof. Spread icing or powdered sugar mixture, whichever you use, on the bottom cookie so that the roof cookies will stick. Also, where the two roof cookies are touching each other on top, spread some “cookie glue” so that they will stay attached.

--- More Ideas:

- For more stability, “glue” a small chocolate figure or other little cookie in the middle of the bottom cookie before you put the two roof cookies on.

- Depending on what kind of cookies or crackers you are using, after few days they can become hard or very soft, but who says you always have to eat the cookie house! Another great idea is to use the cookie as table decoration. Enjoy!
